Bodyguard | Heesun

Maybe it was because Sunoo had been sleepy when he arrived at his apartment, but it feels like he's having the first proper night of sleep in a while.

When he opens his eyes, the sun is already out and he doesn't feel exhausted for once. He even gets up and takes Fluffy for a little walk around the neighborhood to make up for the fact that he barely left the house yesterday.

He tries to remember what he dreamed about, but he can't seem to remember either, which is good. At least he won't be haunted by his nightmares today.

He lets the smoke past his lips as he walks Fluffy, and he feels more relaxed straight away. Today feels like it might be a good day, and Sunoo is even excited.

He told Heeseung about his plans to go shopping today, and the truth is he needs to buy a few things. It's his mother's birthday soon and he wanted to get her something nice, since it's been too long since he went to visit, and although he knows that something expensive won't make up for lost time with her son, it's the best he can do at the moment.

He makes his way back to his building and, before he goes back up to his apartment, he gives his doorman Heeseung's information, in case he arrives early and has to go up to pick him up.

There's something about the younger that keeps bothering Sunoo, in a good way. He can't erase the look on Heeseung's face, the worry in his voice when he asked him about his door code. The way he got him food, the way he waited for hours for him to finish his song just so he could drive him back.

It's unusual, at least for Sunoo. And he doesn't really know how to react to it.

He takes his phone and considers calling him, biting his lower lip nervously, but decides against it. He'd feel bad if he woke him up, so he texts him instead.

to : Lee Heeseung — 11:32 a.m.
Morning
Feel free to come pick me up when you're ready
I have no other schedules until later

He locks his phone again and goes shower while he plays the song he made last night. He smiles, thinking how he might've gotten out of his slump.

It's going to be a good day, he feels it in his bones.

Heeseung didn't quite have what he would call a restful night, for he spent hours on the phone with Sunghoon, questioning and talking about law.

It isn't that he enjoys the subject to the point he'd spend a night talking about it instead of sleeping, however he had too many doubts about the company that had hired him and after that day, as well as the conversation he had with Sunoo, he simply couldn't sleep.

It is true that he doesn't know much about it yet, but a few details caught his eyes, worried him. Starting from the access to Sunoo's home.

"Whether the law permits this, there is nothing one can do if the person concerned by the offense doesn't want to report the situation," Sunghoon had said to which Heeseung had sighed.

"There is simply no way he agrees with this whole situation. " Any human being should be able to have his own privacy, in a place that is safe and not threatened to be invaded by anyone, at any time, whether he's a celebrity or not.

Sunghoon's words seem to run through his mind,

"Aren't you getting too involved, Heeseung-ah? You should step down and treat him like your boss, not your long-time friend. This could backfire on you, and you're aware of that."
